Some friends they sound. How rude is that of them not to come or even telephone. I would have loved to of come too a meal like this. Everything looks so beautiful in presentation. I love Gluten free food too.

Too bad for the people who didn't show up, the food looks amazing( except the brussel sprouts, can't stand 'em) I never get invited to Thanksgiving, I end up cooking for The Doctor and the cats. Merry Christmas!

Oh man, regardless of who you are & where you live, eventually everyone has a birthday or holiday like this. It seems you shook it off - which is the way to go! What else is there to do but eat up, be fab, and say $&@# it. Hopin your Xmas will be better!!

Wow, sounds kind of rude. I've had parties where people just don't show and it really hurts. The meal looks fabulous. Take solace in knowing that you were kind and generous enough to host even if people didn't come.
